Congrats on getting waitlisted and good luck on getting in. If you do need to reapply, here is the list of schools that you were asking about:
 
-Victoria U
-UBC (requirements for Vancouver and Okanagan campuses are different so check both)
-U of Calgary
-Carleton U
-Wilfrid Laurier U
-U of Windsor 
-McGill (but risky and not worth it - you apply to be able to take 2 semesters of SW courses and need to apply again for the 1 yr MSW)
-Dalhousie (only if you have a Master's in a related field)
 
I believe that's it, but someone might want to add more if I missed something. 
 
You mention US schools are expensive. There are a few that aren't that costly, but you really have to look for them. They aren't easy to find. For instance, at Bridgewater in Massechussetts tuition is $9,000 per yr - not much more than tuition in Ontario. But you'd need to know if US programs are recognized by the order of social workers in your province if you plan to return home to work.
 
Lakehead also has a 3 semester BSW. This would allow you to apply to a 1 yr MSW later on (and there are more 1 yr MSW programs in Canada than 2 yr, so more options later on). By going this route, the entire process would only take 1 semester longer than going straight into a 2 yr MSW.
 

I guess U of T really is waiting until April 15th to send out their acceptances...I was hoping that April 15th would be the last day and that all first round offers would have been out by then, but I guess not :T

Everyone keeps telling me stay positive, be patient, you tried the best you could. But I dont' think they really understand what this wait feels like. What it feels like to have you life on hold waiting for this decision. What it feels like to just want to go to school this badly and the competition is crazy. I know i tried my best on my essays my average is a B+/A- which isn't the best. But i have direct social work experience in shelters, self/esteem empowerment women's group facilitation, employment counselling. IM just thankful I have this forum to air out my fustration. Gd luck to everyone still waiting, I really wish you all the best. IT will be over soon!!!

I absolutely agree. The fact that we are all so in tuned with this forum, definitely shows our drive. Thank you for your inspiring words!

Yup, saying if I get in, this will be used as my student number. :S does every school do this. I find this very inappropriate, its kinda like getting your hopes up...

I find this to be a cruel and unusual joke!! how dare they send that email and have my heart thumping like that lol. I thought It was initially a rejection email from the first few sentences. They shouldn't send emails like that to people, its to emotional. How insensitive!
